Carrot



Growing carrots for seed in a home garden for seed is very difficult, as they will cross-polinate with wild plants.

Germination
Carrots should be direct seeded in full sun and very lightly covered. They will germinate at 50-75°F. Allow 21 days for germination.

Pollination
Carrots are pollinated by insects.

Seed Collection
Mature umbles can be left to dry on the plant or cut and hung indoors to dry. Seeds can be cleaned by rubbing through a 1/22" screen.
